I have noticed an increasing, disturbing trend, of nurse practitioners (and I've only seen this with nurse practitioners) prescribing Seroquel like its candy (prescribing it for insomnia in someone who hasn't tried anything else but OTC drugs, prescribing it for depression in someone who hasn't tried anything else, prescribing it for "menstrual difficulties") Any ideas if this is being promulgated by drug reps, or was their some drug article on the miracleousness of Seroquel that is being misinterpreted? I think Seroquel is a pretty heavy drug to be given out so lightly, and I've had more than one patient come back freaked out after reading the patient information sheet and wondering why they would have been prescribed that.
